The defense is their weak point, so would play to attack that weakness if possible.
If Mario not available, then Lambert.
SG was poor against Basel, so could play Lucas instead, toss up.
Allen also poor vs Basel, so would rest. Could also start Markovic instead of Lallana - he did OK when on vs Basel - the guy is running out of chances but Lallana's form is mixed, so Lazar could get yet another chance to show a quids worth out of 20 mill.
Utd have been lucky to get a pile of wins, RVP seems to be hitting some form, so defense will be tested. But they are there for the taking at the other end, though remains to be seen if we'll put them under enough pressure that end.
Love the games vs Utd, literally swatted them aside there last year. Expect it to be more difficult on Sunday, but if we can show the same urgency as we did in the final 10 vs Basel, in with a great shout. Maybe Markovic should just get himself sent off in the first 10 mins ...
